Facade sealing for Shellingford sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Shellingford
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and facade joints cracked through the middle. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shellingford from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Shellingford bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Shellingford move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Facade sealing around Shellingford: what changes locally
Shellingford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Shellingford lies roughly 63 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Projects at schools like Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New units and refits on sites such as Stanford in the Vale Business Park, 0.8 miles to the east of Shellingford, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Shellingford is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire.

Surface by surface

Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.

Signs you need facade sealing in Shellingford
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Extensions at sites like Longworth Hospital (2.3 miles north-west of Shellingford) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Shellingford, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
